You never know who you are going to meet!
Guess who made a trip to Chicago? None other than the popular Real Housewife of New Jersey, Teresa Giudice. Teresa has a new cookbook out for healthy eating and she was in Chicago for a book signing. Teresa got a lot more than she bargained for at the signing.
Leah DeSimone, star of Mob Wives Chicago, went out to Barnes & Noble last night, with some girlfriends, to DePaul University Bookstore in Chicago, in her hometown, to attend Teresa's event. I guess Leah isn't use to the publicity yet because, as she went back out to the car to feed the meter, employees came rushing out to get her to come back in to meet with Teresa. Leah obliged, but expressed to them that she really didn't want to cut in line. Teresa Giudice, who is currently on RHONJ and recently appeared on The Celebrity Apprentice (and I may add that she did pretty well), has written another cookbook titled "Fabulicious! Fast & Fit."
Leah went in and posed with Teresa and said she couldn't believe the media frenzy. Leah still has a hard time realizing that people are recognizing her. For one, I personally think that even if she wasn't cast on Mob Wives Chicago, her hair alone is a head-turner. Teresa and Leah chatted and took many pictures for the fans.
Teresa and Leah at Dinner
After the book signing, Leah took Teresa downtown to Taylor Street for a tour and dinner. Taylor Street is the Little Italy of Chicago which is famous for its many great Italian restaurants. It sounds like our popular Mob Wife was having some fun.

Love Teresa!!!!
Taylor Street is the historic Little Italy, but is NOT the official Little Italy of Chicago. That is on the far w/nw side of the city along Harlem Avenue (La Corsa Italia), as well as the near west burbs which have had large Italian populations since the late 1800s and into 1900s and now. Elmwood Park and other parts of Leyden Township (Schiller Park, Franklin Park, Rosemont, River Grove, Melrose Park, etc.) is where you'll find Italian masses at churches, stores, fests, etc. Taylor Street was wiped out by highways/Irish leaders of the city in the 1950s and 1960s.
